Wendy Wood is Senior Lecturer
at the Mental Health and Therapeutic
PracticeFaculty of Education, Health and Sciences
at
University of Derby, UK.
Wendy is also Programme leader for the Compassion Focused Therapy programme.
"I worked within the NHS for 14 years as a Mental Health Nurse then as an
assistant psychologist and then as a counsellor in primary care. I also
worked for a year as a freelance trainer, therapist and clinical
supervisor."
"Compassion
focused therapy is a psychological approach that was originally
developed to help people with high shame and self-criticism, and this
course will introduce you to the basic ideas and interventions that are
used. This course is for you if you are in a mental health profession,
for example psychiatry, psychology, nursing or occupational therapy and
you are trained to form and develop psychotherapeutic relationships.
Also, if you have basic counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy
skills and you would like to develop your skills when working with
clients who experience shame and self-criticism thoughts, then this
course is for you."
